A let off for Inter! Plea thinks he’s completed his hat-trick with a wonderfully-placed effort but VAR rules it out because a player in front of the goalkeeper is adjudged to be interfering from an offside position.

Elsewhere, Thomas Muller has equalised for Bayern against Atletico from the penalty spot.

Goal disallowed!

Man City thought they’d finally broken through, Gabriel Jesus seeing his header tipped onto the post and then tapping home the rebound. But VAR spots an offside in the warm-up and it’s chalked off.

76 mins: I don’t believe it. Raheem Sterling cannot catch a break. The Englishman gets across the near post and his flick is heading into the back of the net until it is hooked off the line - by his own teammate Ruben Dias!

79 mins: Liverpool are just over ten minutes away from a big win, but their hopes of winning the group tonight are hanging by a thread because Atalanta have just equalised against Midtjylland through Christian Romero. Another goal would mean Liverpool still needing a point on the final day to be sure of finishing top.

London bus stuff for Marseille - Payet steps up to dispatch another excellent spot kick. 

Inter Milan do not like making things easy for themselves, though. Having just set up a goal at one end, Sanchez gives away possession and is punished as Plea makes it 3-2 and gives Borussia Monchengladbach hope.
